Licensed Professional Counselor and Divorce Mediator

I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist and holistic health and wellness counselor and have been practicing for 13 years. I integrate relational psychotherapy, body awareness therapy and nutritional counseling into my practice. My specialties include relationships, families, stress management, anxiety, fears, body image, and emotional eating. I create a nurturing and non-judgmental space for clients to address and overcome the obstacles that are in their way of experiencing more consistent joy and happiness. Clients gain more clarity and insight into who they are and what they want in their lives and learn to see the various choices they have in each moment.

Please contact me for a free phone consultation to learn more and discuss your current needs for therapy.
